My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?

Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm trying to understand what a grade 2 fatty liver means. My liver is normal in size but it shows a diffused coarse increase in homogeneous echotexture. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to improve my liver health?

Grade 2 fatty liver indicates a moderate level of fatty infiltration in the liver. In your case, where the liver is normal in size and shows diffuse coarse increased homogeneous echotexture, it is important to make lifestyle modifications to improve liver health. You can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help manage the fatty liver condition. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol can also help improve liver function.

I used to smoke but quit four months ago. Recently, I visited a pulmonologist because I was having issues with coughing and feeling like I had to take deep breaths. The doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and GERD and gave me some medicine. However, whenever I stop taking the medicine, my symptoms come back. Now I'm hearing a water-like noise on the left side of my stomach just below my chest. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?
